Paul Graham and Jessica Livingston have been role models for me since I started reading PG:s blog 10 years ago.
Had a sunny walk in Stockholm, and it was great to hear them admire Stockholm as potentially becoming the #1 destination for builders in Europe.
We also spoke about humans' role in the economy, when machine intelligence is able to do all the boring things. What was very clear is that entrepreneurs seeing opportunities, rallying people for change, and trying new things is one of the activities that has been around for 1000s of years, and will continue to exist.
Super proud that my hometown can be a role model in all of this, and to help millions of future founders building on the product we're working very hard on, and true pleasure talking to PG and Jessica!
A Google Cloud engineer just showed how to build a full app with Claude from scratch.
He spent 26 minutes live on stage doing what most teams take weeks to do.
Worth more than any $500 vibe-coding course, no team, no setup, just Claude and a goal.
The ones who learn what Claude actually does are shipping what everyone else outsources to a team.
Watch it, then read the guide below on the Claude features 99% of users never find.
Silicon Valley lost the ability to build beautiful things.
@mickymalka says the startup world spent the last 15 years optimizing for scale instead of building products that people genuinely love:
“When was the last time you bought something, a technology product, that you loved and thought, ‘Wow, this is beautiful’?”
“We lost that ability because we’ve given a prize and reward for efficiency, algorithm, the compounding of things, and we put aside how it makes you feel.”
“In this world where technology's taking over a lot of our lives, more than any time in history, we're going to need that feeling back again—how it makes you feel.”
“ The founders that will do that, will win. And the founders that don't have that ability, they don't have a chance.”
.@mickymalka is the founder of @RibbitCapital — the firm behind Revolut, Robinhood, Nubank, Coinbase, and more.
He bought his first share of Berkshire Hathaway when he was 13, in Venezuela, with money he borrowed from his grandfather.
His grandfather charged him interest.

I moved to San Francisco! 🚀
Three weeks ago, I decided to stop wondering.
I kept hearing the same advice:
Incorporate in the U.S. Build traction in the U.S. Be where the founders are.
So I packed my entire apartment in Sofia, incorporated my startup in Delaware, moved to the Bay Area, and submitted my @ycombinator application just before the deadline.
I’m here to validate my startup, interview users, meet founders, and build.
Within my first week in San Francisco, my team won 1st place at the @Stripe × @Auth0 Hackathon hosted at @Okta. 🏆
Now it’s time to jump into the unknown.
New city. New chapter. Let’s build. 🚀
I’ll be sharing here what I learn while building in San Francisco.
If you’re building too, let’s connect!
